Some shots from an unusually sunny afternoon yesteraday :)

 

There is still a slight green tint to the clear panes of glass which I had mentioned earlier. However the green tint is significantly less than those at T2, T3 or Crowne Plaza. Here is a photo straight out of the camera showing the green tint...

...and the same photo with some Auto-colour from photoshop.

Nice pix. Indonesia AirAsia's remaining two Boeing 737s will go soon - Bandung runway should be ready for A320's in February next year. So catch them before they are returned to the lessors.

Wow okay....I am definitely going to miss the B737s when they are gone! It doesn't help that Indonesia Air Asia's A320s do not have any special schemes at all so far..

The A380s at the back are those awaiting engine swap?

Great shots, Hoe Jyh !!! :good:

 

Talking about MAI: did you notice the new flag on the fuselage ?

What airline is operating the 737 parked above the VN 332 and behind the TG 777 in the MAI picture ?

Thanks everyone! :) Hope this rare stroke of luck with a usable viewing gallery would allow us to get more photos of the traffic in SIN from another angle with some background in the picture as well.

 

Waiping: No idea, but the 2 A380s were parked at the engine run-up bay until this evening when one of them was towed across to park at the SATS Cargo Complex instead.

 

Pieter: Oh yes, the new flag looks rather out of place as compared to the old flag which only comprised of red, blue and a white emblem. Personally, I felt that the flag looked more at home on an African carrier instead!

 

The B732F in the photo is PK-YGP and is operated by Tri-MG, but the aircraft has Neptune Air basic colours.

 

QANTAS B767-300ER VH-OGT 'Maroochydore' in QF's new livery turning into gate C16 as QF77 from Perth. As the A333s that were deployed on this route were roped in to operate longer sectors such as SIN-MEL due to the grounding of the airline's A380 fleet, some of the shorter flights such as QF77/78 reverted back to using B763ERs instead.

Thursday, 16 Dec 10

 

Jetstar launched its inaugural daily non-stop Singapore-Melbourne service on 16 Dec 2010 using a widebody A330-200. VH-EBE had the honours of performing this historic flight, which is also the first scheduled widebody long haul service operated by a low cost carrier from Singapore Changi airport. Unfortunately the weather was not very cooperate that evening but the newly opened viewing mall did come in very useful in such adverse weather conditions :rolleyes:

Was in Changi over the Christmas weekend and weather was not that great. Here are some shots from T1 Viewing Mall and Runways 20R/02L:

 

Lucky enough to see the B777F in action:

Then we have the Sri Lankan:

Looks like there are more Airbuses this weekend. JAL B767 is one of the less seen Boeings:

SQ's whalejet arrived just before the Christmas Day light faded completely:

What is your difficulty? The A380-800 is a very distinctive aircraft. Take a good look at it and I am sure that you will know it when you see it at airports or in the air. Here is another photo to help you!

Yes it gives the user the confidence to shoot knowing that the camera will deliver! I am happy with the results so far. Still learning how to use it properly!

 

Here are some shots of the Indonesians - lots of them call in SIN. Real open skies in Indonesia, all airlines are allowed to compete:
